“It has been an honour and privilege to finish my heptathlon career at the Commonwealth Games. Not the performance I was hoping for but definitely a competition to remember and it has been a joy to be able to represent my country for the last nine years. What an emotional ending! Well done to Jess Tappin who came to Glasgow with very little notice and performed brilliantly, and Jess Taylor who has risen to the occasion fantastically. Onwards and upwards to the next challenge”
